Pros
Pros
- Silky-smooth draw that Hoyt is known for, with a rock-solid back wall you can make even firmer by swapping the draw-stop shoes
- Press-free XTS tuning corrects left/right and high/low nock tears without a bow press, and locks in place without drifting shot to shot
- Chronographs right at its 340 IBO claim, landing 330-336 fps at the 70 lb / 30 inch / 350 grain setup
- Dead in the hand post-shot with no felt vibration or feedback, and the Vital Point grip stays repeatable
- The efficient HBX Gen 4 cam holds speed at shorter draws, so short-draw shooters give up far less than the 29.5 inch axle length suggests
- The short 29.5 inch riser stacks slightly and shortens the valley near the wall, so shooters used to a longer, more forgiving bow may want to draw one in person first
- At 4.4 lbs it is not a light bow, and hunters set on the lowest possible carry weight can step up to Hoyt's carbon Alpha for less mass at a higher price
